Psalm 76 (Notus in Judaea)

Only to Judah God his will doth signify;
Only in Jacob is his name notorious;
His restfull tent doth only Salem dignify;
On Syon only stands his dwelling glorious;
Their bow, and shaft, and shield, and sword he shivered,
Drave warr from us, and us from warr delivered.

Above proud princes, proudest in their theevery,
Thou art exalted high, and highly glorified:
Their weake attempt, thy valiant delivery,
Their spoile, thy conquest meete to be historified.
The mighty. handlesse grew as men that slumbered,
For hands grew mightlesse, sence and life encombered.

Nay, God, O God, true Jacobs sole devotion,
Thy check the very carrs and horses mortified,
Cast in dull sleepe, and quite depriv'd of motion.
Most fearefull God, O how must he be fortified!
Whose fearelesse foote to bide thy onsett tarieth,
When once thy wrath displaied ensigne carieth.

From out of heav'n thy .justice judgment thundred
When good by thee were sav'd, and bad were punished,
While earth at heav'n with feare and silence wondred.
Yea, the most ragefull in their rage astonished
Fell to praise thee: whom thou, how ever furious
Shalt oft restraine, if fury prove injurious.

Then lett your vowes be paid, your offrings offered
Unto the Lord, O you of his protection:
Unto the fearefull lett your giftes be proffered,
Who loppeth princes thoughts, prunes their affection.
And so him self most terrible doth verify,
In terrifying kings, that earth doth terrify.
